Just mix a bit of diesel with it! Apparently they are unreliable and take a huge current.
 
Not if it's got some diesel in with it to thin it a bit. Yes, it's a diesel.

So you think that there is no need to warm veggie oil up.
Is your landy diesel?

There is no need to get a heat exchanger. I run my 300tdi on vege oil 50/50 mix with diesel with no problems. If you use rapeseed oil it handles the cold better without emulsifying.
 
I is running 75% veg / 25% doozil at the mo, wiv no probs.
95p a litre from Lidl.
 
where can you get rapseed oil from.
I go to costco and buy 20 litres of oil for about £15.
Saving about £11.

supermarkets.:D

If you are already running on vege oil then you would know that you don't need a heat exchanger.:confused: :confused: :confused:
 
I went up to about 80% and found that I was smoking a bit for the first couple of hundred yards after start up so I dropped back down to 50/50. I wanna try a full tank of veg oil with a gallon of petrol in it so I am trying to run my to empty out at the moment.
 
same here but still on Pura at 56p (last few litres now!) and then need to find a better source!
 
Its not that its just i have read that you can damage the fuel injector pump if the veggie oil is not thinned down enough

If you are worried why not do a poll to find out how many people on here run on veggie oil and how many use a heat exchanger. You can also see how many have had problems. I think your answer will be none and none.
 
I think the car would stop running properly before you damaged the injector pump, the Bosch pump on the TDi (i presume you are running a TDi and not a TD5, which i don't think will cope with SVO) copes admirably with the increased viscosity!
